Explain the relationship between activation energy and reaction rate. For example, how would an increase in activation energy affect reaction rate? How do biological systems differ from lab settings when considering these chemical variables?
What will be an ideal response?
Higher activation energy requirements would be associated with slower reaction rates. Biological systems generally rely on protein enzymes to serve as catalysts that lower activation energy, whereas lab settings can employ high temperatures to increase the kinetic energy of the reactants to overcome the required energy input.
